My feet’s tired (see page 108)

(Numb)

[Chorus]
I was on the roof and
Contemplatin' truth and
Saw myself runnin'
But now I ain't runnin'

[Verse 1]
Came a long way (away)
Remember them days
You could still see it in we face
Blues blood - like them waves
Come out to show them
Looking for a old place, new space
Behind the moon and the stars
But not another planet, just balance
But we stuck, you love my pain
Whole life bad luck 'caus- (God!)
They ain’t trust us
Ain’t the type to know real, just us or without us
Make a new dance about us, then drown us
Make the pain go away, brain go away

Celebrate sorrow, till I can't tomorrow
Just time borrowed
It's just time borrowed

Imagine light without darkness
Or the mind without solace
This what mama promised
This what mama promised?
This ain't what they taught us
(I sa-)

(I saw myself, saw my-)

[Chorus]
I was on the roof and
Contemplatin' truth and
Saw myself running
(But now I ain't running)
I'm back where I begun
Nowhere to run
After freedom, now my feets stay numb
But I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

[Verse 2]
Like a hole, like a ghost, like coals, like smoke
My soul, no shell
Like shoals, no roads
Where I go? Where I go-o?
They know, they know
I'm alone, ain't alone, I'm home

[Chorus]
I was on the roof and
Contemplatin' truth and
I- Saw myself running
But now I ain't running
